The Family and the Crop

This is Ola E. “Ollive” Kuykendall, her husband D. F. Sheffield and their two children Archibald and Ethel. I only have two dates to work with here. Ollive was born 24 Jan 1879 and she married D. F. (Frank) in Cherokee County, Georgia, 20 Jul 1898.

Ethel, the oldest kid, looks about 8 or 9 years of age. I think an estimated date of the picture would be about 1910-11.

The back drop looks like crop of some kind. I have seen more than several pictures of a man or a family be photographed near their crop. It was something to be proud of.
